This weekend we are looking forward to the Wokingham Winter Carnival. Traditionally the winter carnival takes place on the coldest day of the year - it is normally BITTERLY cold so I'm really happy to have been asked to review this gorgeous luxury buggy footmuff from Betty Bramble.

Betty Bramble pride themselves on the stylish retro, vintage and classic fabric designs. Given the arrival of our new Union Jack Easywalker MINI stroller, I can't think of a more perfect fabric design for Holly's Betty Bramble footmuff than this patriotic London's Calling footmuff from Betty Bramble (£64.99).

The body and outside of the footmuff is made from a thick and chunky soft courduroy which keeps Holy really warm a the back and around her core and legs. The inside is made from a very soft cotton and it is really well padded in between. This footmuff is the longest and largest I have ever tried which is brilliant because I have a habit of producing girls with extremely long legs that don't always fit into highstreet brands of footmuffs or cosytoes.

I was pleased with how easy it was to fit the footmuff. There are holes for you to pass through the straps of your buggy at the top, side and crotch and once fitted, you secure it to your buggy with four little ties. I found this footmuff, because of the thick courduroy, to sit well on the buggy and it didn't ride up or slip off.

The Betty Bramble footmuff fastens at the side using a zip and then the flap at the front lifts up and down to provide extra snuggliness (or trendy patterns) and is fastened in place with a lovely toggle button. I found the holes for the straps to be a little small and I couldn't use it on my older buggy because the crotch buckle wouldn't fit through but I think it would fit most 3 point and 5 point harness pushchairs including iCandy, Bugaboo, Mammas and Papas and Quinny.

Do go and check out some of Betty Bramble's other fabric colours and designs - there are some awesome ones such as dinosaurs or hot air balloons which would add a great splash of colour to any buggy.
